Year 6 visit to Wyre Forest Fire Station
Year 6 had a brilliant morning over at the Wyre Forest Fire Station taking part in the citizens challenge on Wednesday 5th June 2024.
The Young Citizens Challenge consists of a series of workshops that address various safety issues and are delivered by the Police, the Fire Service and other partner agencies.
The workshops are designed to be entertaining and informative, with the aim of teaching key safety messages which should benefit children not just during the summer holidays but throughout their lives.
This is a firmly established event which has been running for over 25 years and is attended annually by around 2,000 school children across Worcestershire.
Amongst the subjects covered include:-
West Mercia Police – internet safety / stranger danger / knife crime awareness
Hereford & Worcester Fire Service – fire safety
Western Power Distribution – safety near electricity substations
Safer Roads Partnership – road safety
Severn Area Rescue Association – water safety & rescues
We were very pleased that one of the Hartlebury teams won the event.
Great work Hartlebury!
